How the IEEPA tariff refund assessment works.
Share Your Import Profile
You provide basic company information and an overview of your import activity. This takes less than five minutes. No entry-level data is required at this stage — just enough context for us to determine whether a full assessment is warranted. Check your eligibility first →
We Assess Your Position
Using your entry data from CBP's ACE portal, we identify every IEEPA-affected duty line. We map the liquidation status of each entry, determine recovery paths, and calculate your gross recoverable position.
You Choose Your Path
We present every option: self-directed recovery, referral to trade counsel, or immediate capital through claim assignment if you prefer certainty over waiting. There is no pressure or obligation.
Four paths. Each depends on your entry status.
Post-Summary Correction
For unliquidated entries still open in CBP's system. A Post-Summary Correction amends the duty assessment before CBP finalizes the entry. Typically processed in weeks, not months. Requires action before liquidation.
Formal CBP Protest
For liquidated entries still within the 180-day protest window. Filed under 19 U.S.C. §1514 challenging the assessed IEEPA duty amount. Preserves your rights while the government refund system is finalized.
CIT Litigation
For entries where the protest window has closed. Filed at the Court of International Trade under 28 U.S.C. §1581(i). The longest path but still available for most importers with older entries.
Immediate Capital
Immediate capital certainty. No government timeline risk. We assume all processing risk. Firm, non-recourse acquisition offer within 14–21 days — backed by committed capital, ready to close. Dedicated claim acquisition at tariffbuyouts.com →
